Picks of the Sonora Metallic 330xi

Hey all, I finally am getting around to posting some pics of my car.

Got her in April of last year and have kept it pretty stock other than a few free things like Charcoal delete and K&N, i plastidipped the kidneys but most of my pictures are of the car without. Looks much better with the black as many would agree.

So enjoy the pics. Haven't seen many in this color combo so its pretty unique in that regard. I really don't like the chrome-look grilles now that i see them in these pictures 6 months after doing them. Ill take a couple better shots with the new black ones.

Welcome! Looks good.

Nonetheless, consider the following: spacers 15mmFF/20 RR; warp interior brushed aluminum; gloss black grills and window trim, and slight drop. OEM+

Thanks man! I know, lolling at that pic of my rear fender I really need a set of spacers. I actually like the way the wood trim kinda matches the exterior and interior colors together. But if I go for the more sport/aggressive look when I get the money that will for sure be considered.

I have my kidneys plastidipped for now but I do want the performance grilles too because the plasti just seems cheap.

Wow. I knew it wasn't a big seller but that's pretty crazy. I'll ask for collector item appraisal if I ever trade it in haha.

I wonder why it was so unpopular. It really is good looking. Maybe the color develops over the years? If I had to pick any color I would not pick it first but seeing it in person really has gotten complements. More of a luxury look. Jet black doesn't do much for the lines on the e90
